Allie Thiel, Otsego senior

There wasn't much Otsego's Allie Thiel didn't do for the Bulldogs this season. The 5-foot-7 guard recorded 14.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 2.9 steals and one block per game. She led the Bulldogs in points, rebounds and assists, while finishing second in steals and blocks. Thiel was also often tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player. Otsego consistently looked to Thiel in crucial moments and the three-year varsity player rarely failed. Thiel, who will continue her career at Hope College next season, won back-to-back district titles her sophomore and junior seasons before helping Otsego to a 15-7 record this year.

Just saw this go by on twitter (from Hope WBB Coach Brian Morehouse)

R.I.P. Ron Weatherbee.  Voice of the Dutch and Dutchmen for many years.  Great man and class act with a passion for Hope.  He will be missed

I had read that Haley Muller (currently playing Volleyball for Hope) earlier had talked to Coach Mo about playing basketball. Change of heart?

Heard that too.  Volleyball season is still underway so she couldn't try out, probably wouldn't be listed on the roster in any case.  Perkins is still playing soccer, but she's a returner to varsity bball so makes sense she'd be listed.

Looks like Calvin had a scrimmage on their calendar with Cornerstone last weekend.  Anyone see it?

I'm a little surprised the poll has those two teams that close. Hope seems to have more back than Calvin but maybe I'm underselling the Knights. I had both on my ballot but Hope was a surer thing to me than Calvin.

Hope had a scrimmage against Cornerstone on 10/28 but no news on that either.
